Budget cuts mean delay in football trash pickup

On Monday, custodial crews from the University will be picking up trash from Saturday’s football game.

This will be the first year where trash is picked up on Monday rather than Sunday.

This comes after the University made job cuts back in April in an effort to compensate for budget cuts. Over 50 jobs were cut last year, and the plan was to save money on overtime by having crews wait until the normal shift to clean it up, meaning trash pick up would have to start Monday.

ABC17 Crews noticed on Sunday that there were some people out picking up trash, however it was unclear it they were volunteers or staff of the University.

ABC17 will check in with the University on Monday afternoon to see how the trash pick up went.
